Best Answer

The question raises a matter of fact, not a matter of faith. The appropriate answer therefore is that, since nearly all scholars believe there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in The Bible, there was also no crossing of the Red Sea. As there was no crossing of the Red Sea, the question is unanswerable.

Answer #1:

Since a scientific evaluation is impossible, I have therefore decided that the crossing of the Red Sea is only a Jewish legend.

Answer #2:

The fact that it cannot be scientifically proven does not reduce it to a legend. The crossing of the Reed Sea is a tradition accepted by billions of people. To address the Question, the Crossing took mere hours, so it was presumably not at a very wide spot.

It is not today known where the Israelites crossed the Sea of Reeds. Also note that some opinions state that they emerged on the same side that they had entered. See also:

There are some scholars who also debate that Moses may have actually crossed "The reed sea" and the term "Red Sea" is a misinterpretation. In which case the question would still be invalid.
